It was a chilly November morning and I'd been looking forward to this day. It had been written on my calendar for a couple of weeks now: a road trip day with Angela! Angela is a dear friend of mine, and I try to make it to every event I can to hear her speak. (Angela's first poetry memoir was published this year! Find it here.) This event was particularly cool, because Angela had been asked to speak/read some of her poetry at Chop Suey Books in Richmond. I love downtown Richmond, in all its hipness, but Chop Suey is a gem of old. Check them out next time you're around town. They buy and sell used (and new) books! Plus they have a really chill cat named WonTon. He'll be there to greet you at the door.
